Clearing Foreclosure on Credit

[LPHouston]

In 1998 when I was late on my mortgage 60 days the company began the foreclosure process and sent me a letter to make me aware of this.

I immediately scraped the money together and got the mortgage up to date.

I am now in the process of buying a new home and my otherwise good credit is tainted by a "commence foreclosure proceedings" from the mortgage company in 98.

Is there anyway to get this off my record? I would appreciate any advice.

All I have ever been told is to dispute it in writing to all three reporting agencies. They may remove instead of fooling with the dispute. I have had them removed because they were close to 7 years anyway. It is worth a try as it only takes a few bucks and time.

Also you can still get mortgages etc with a old  entry but will pay a little higher rate.

Happy Hollidays and Thank you,

You can hire credit repair companies to get it removed....

Get a letter from the mortgage company stating that they never proceeded with the foreclosure.... to show that to your lender....

If you are trying get a loan through the same mortgage company it will probably be very hard....

If your having problems with this lender find another mortgage broker....

Here is a good one I use at Robertson_Steve_@Hotmail.com
